You’ve collected a couple of window quotes, and they barely look like they’re for the same house. One feels reasonable. The other makes you want to close the laptop and rethink the whole project.

Here’s the surprise: Both quotes can actually be accurate. Window replacement doesn’t have a single set price, and the gap between a basic job and a high-end one is wider than most homeowners expect. Here is a breakdown of what drives these costs, what recent industry data shows for our region, and how to evaluate whether a quote is fair.

Here's why you’ll see a quote for $7,000 from one source and $22,000 from another:

According to Angi’s 2026 cost data, a typical house with 10 to 12 standard double-hung windows runs about $7,000 to $9,000 installed.

Now look at the 2025 Cost vs. Value Report from Zonda, which tracks remodeling costs in 119 U.S. markets. Its vinyl window project covers 10 double-hung windows (3 x 5 feet each) with insulated, low-E glass, simulated divided-light grilles, and a custom-color exterior finish, with the exterior trim matched to the existing look. That job averaged $22,073 nationally and $21,922 in New England.

While both scenarios involve a similar number of windows, the price doubles or triples based on specifications. Materials, glass performance, grille patterns, exterior colors, and custom trim work all significantly impact the final cost.

What actually drives the price?

Four main factors drive the total cost: window size, glass type, color, and style. Because of these variables, two homes with the exact same number of windows can have significantly different estimates.

Additionally, the condition of your existing window openings and trim can impact pricing, which can't be assessed from the outside. This is why an in-home quote is always more accurate than an online calculator.

What do you get back?

In the same Cost vs. Value report, New England homeowners recouped 71.2% of the cost: $15,611 in resale value on a $21,922 project. Nationally, the figure was 75.5% ($16,657 on $22,073). In the report’s Middle Atlantic region, it was 64.1% ($15,387 on $23,986).

That isn’t a dollar-for-dollar return, and it’s not meant to be. The rest of the value shows up in day-to-day comfort, like fewer drafts.

Energy efficiency is part of the value, too. Newer windows with low-E glass and double- or triple-pane construction are built to keep more of your heat inside through a New England winter.

One more thing worth knowing: the federal energy-efficiency tax credit that helped with window costs (Section 25C) expired for anything installed after December 31, 2025. Budget for 2026 with that in mind.

Here's how ProEdge prices your window project:

Because so many details affect the price, we don’t guess from a chart. We come to you. A free in-home consultation takes 60 to 90 minutes, and it covers measurements, samples, style options, and a quote that stays valid for a year.

Our vinyl windows are made at our own factory in Rhode Island. Because we build them ourselves, we can customize the color and shape to fit your home, and we offer energy-efficient options with low-E glass and double- or triple-pane construction. Both the windows and the installation are covered by our Lifetime Warranty.

Installation can take as little as one day, and removal and disposal of your old windows are included.

That’s the part customers tend to mention in their reviews: a crew that finished the same day, and a process that was explained clearly before any work began.
